[English]
I need to talk to you
To find you in any way
To sit down and chat
Then walk against the wind
I need to breathe
The same air that surrounds you
And on my skin I want to have
The same sun that tans you
I need to touch you
And see you smiling again
And return in a beautiful dream
Pretend that it's still early
Everything will be up to the emotion
Pretend that it's still early
And let the voice of the heart speak
I need to talk to you
To find you in any way
To sit down and chat
Then walk against the wind
I can no longer live
A feeling without meaning
I need to discover
The emotion of being with you
To see the sun rise
And see life happen
Like a Sunday
Pretend that it's still early
Everything will be up to the emotion
Pretend that it's still early
And let the voice of the heart speak
Pretend that it's still early
Everything will be up to the emotion
Pretend that it's still early
And let the voice of the heart speak
